DIY Garden Shed Greenhouse Part 8 Building Roof Rafters 

Don't worry! This work quickly took me through tips and advice used by professionals and ru-vid.comUgkx28Z8z61iXUVQQPSL3K9UZJw0Hm7ylSiH taught me how to use woodworking tools, follow proper safety rules, and finish your work so it looks good and lasts!

That's the most solidly built thing I've ever seen

This is what people of the world need, schools should be teaching our youth the true fundamentals. (Personally believe a life style as seen in this video could bring a peaceful mind)

Wish these new trades people knew how to frame like this gentleman.

This is a perfect teaching that I've never seen

They don’t make them like they used to ,you sir are a craftsman with a capital C,it was a pleasure watching you build thank you for the education

It’s wonderful to see that the skills needed to drive in a 4” nail ie pre-drilling! And using a REAL HAMMER no modern days hundreds of pounds nail-guns!

Most impressive part for me is that this is being hand nailed ! Quite a workout. !

Wow! This guy is amazing! This has to be the best set of videos for building a shed. He explains things in such detail. Makes thing so much easier. I have so much respect for the work this man does. Thanks so much!👍😀

I feel sorry for this new generation. They are useless and meaningless. Thank you grandpa for showing up and teaching us how it is done the right way. Thank you again. Much love to you. NYC

Thank you for the video. I'm busy building a small greenhouse and I've just got the the rafters stage. I'm not a builder and so I've been doing some research on RU-vid. This is by far the most helpful. We'll done and Thank you.

Ive watched many videos explaining how to do rafters, but visually seeing the whole process gave me a better understanding. Thank you Sir for the excellent video demonstration!

Great craftsmanship! Very impressive. Thank you for sharing!

My absolute respect to this old man. Probably the best and most comprehensive series of videos about how to build a shed or shop. Thank you very much.

I wish all framing was done this way! like they say.... "They don't make them like they use to". Great Work!

Just found your channel. Glad to see some that still do it old school. The way my Dad thought me.

Thank you for helping me see the beauty of building. It's inspiring ❤

Nice job!

Such a beautiful building! Beautiful craftsmanship!

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain what your doing.

You inspired me to build a shed. I followed your directions and it turned out perfect. Thank you very much. Greetings from Brazil!

Yes I agree with you it does pay to pre drill a lot of times... Good work good communication skills.

Very explicit, and very meticulous job.

I like the way you secured your ladder, a video showing how you did it would be helpful.

Looking good been waiting on the continuation of this project 👍🏻

Thank you I learning a lot

It's been years since I've seen someone using the old methods and yet freshing too.

I love the old fashion way. Old school

hello uncle, you did a great job

Great video! I'm working on a 15'x10' shed roof(I'm putting it over an old trailer with a destroyed roof). I found this video the most helpful and found you explained things clearly. I do have a question about the strength of this shed. I wonder if it would take 4-5ft of snow? I am in a snow belt area(~80psf) with low winds. I want to do something similar, but I think it needs to be a bit stronger. I'm looking to make a similar build, but adding strength. I'm looking at a 10' span. I have some beefy 2x4 rough lumber(actual dimension) around 8'-8'.5"(I think its old growth cedar), and about 6-7 beefy 2x4s at 10'+. I also have some beefy 2x6 for top plates. I'm looking to do 10/12 with rafters ~16-18" OCs(I think it works to like 17.2") with rafter ties and collar ties(I think? or perhaps only useful for winds?). I'm wondering about techniques for securing the rafters/ties/top plate. I was considering toe nailing one nail each side to the top plate. Then, was thinking about using plywood gussets on each side(3/4in ply, liquid nails + ~1.5in nails ~3+3 at each connection). I think I could get 6-7 of these, and there would be 9 rafter sets total. I'm most concerned about the walls bowing out, and less concerned about rafters twisting or forces at the ridge board. I was basically planning on securing the rafters to the ridge board in similar manner to what you did in this video. I figure the collar ties will also see less force, and was planning to use a similar strategy as rafter ties with smaller ply gussets and no glue. Anyways, I hope this isn't too much info to scare you off. Really hoping to hear your opinion on this. I'm a pretty new to this and mostly working with guess work

Lots of time & not for profit . Great Job !!

@BasaPete is that an old Craftsman Sawmill circular saw? I swear I have the same one that was my Dad's.

굿

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Acá se mide con el sistema internacional, lo único que se mide bajo el sistema imperial es el espesor de las maderas brutas. Claro, también pernos, tornillos y clavos.
